Turkey's maritime authority has confirmed that a tanker traveling from Russia to Georgia was hit in an attack approximately 80 miles from the Turkish coastline.
This latest incident marks yet another strike on shipping routes connected to Russia in the Black Sea, with such events surging in frequency over recent months. In response, Turkey is ramping up its surveillance operations in the region, as insurance providers adjust premiums to reflect the heightened dangers of navigating these waters.
These targeted attacks are evolving into a strategic instrument of coercion, stripping Russia of secure pathways and transforming every transit line into a potential vulnerability. By intensifying disruptions to Moscow's logistics networks, global allies are amplifying their bargaining power to compel Russia to withdraw from the conflict.
